Pros
You will get a paycheck... and occasionally, you may be able to help customers out with fun projects they are making.
Cons
I worked here before they were bought by General wireless, and stayed for over a year after that transition. The commission rates used to be high, then they went lower... until General wireless took over and we ended up at 1% commission on store brand merchandise only, and since Sprint moved in and took over the phone sales, I made less than 40$ commission a month. The management really did not care and it showed, we did not have enough employees and they kept asking us to sell more and more stuff. When General Wireless came in, we thought that it might get better, but nothing really changed. I had so much work to do, as my manager didn't do his job, so I pretty much had to do everything for him... When this grew too stressful, I started speaking to him tactfully. When this did not work, I pleaded for help, and surprisingly, he was rather nasty to me. I brought this up to upper management, and all they did was tell me that while they knew about the problem, they didn't know who in the store was covering for him. The upper manager said that he should give me a promotion, but instead he is going to wait to catch my boss slipping before he actually did anything about it. Over 6 months later... I had all I could take, and got another job.This is a horrible company to work for, and they will not care about you. They treat management poorly, and I am ashamed to say that I witnessed my manager being berated several times by the district manager in an extremely unprofessional manner. Do not work for this company if you value your well-being. You'll be much better off working anywhere else. Don't even get me started on the products because they are cheaply made and are priced several times over what they should be. You can get this stuff online for $2 so no one is going to pay $20 for the same exact cable. That's why the profits are going down the tube, RadioShack is focusing on the wrong products and they expect you to sell them and they will cut your hours when you can't.
